Most Bird Seed mixes have Sunflower Seeds that can be planted and grown to perpetuate your seed supply. These flowers are virtually free, as they cost pennies when compared to seed packets. You can grow thousands of sunflowers this way if you have the space. Protect your seeds and plants from wildlife because deer can eat a fully grown sunflower down to nothing (That is what happened to all my flowers so I am growing this batch indoors).
